So, I've been kinda absent lately for a few reasons. The first being my wife and I have been trying to find out what to do with our life. Seeing as I was probably going to be stop lossed anyway and didn't really have a solid plan in place (not to mention $$$) a massive career change didn't seem like a good idea. Second, we've been training like crazy for Afghanistan next year and I can honestly say it's the most fun/hardest I've had since I've been in the Army. We'll be right on the Afghan/Pakistan border so it will be like Colorado on steroids + taliban. Anyway, I think this deployment is going to be awesome (as awesome as a war can be...).
So, I re-enlisted for two years. No bonus, but at least I know whats going to happen to me and my wife for the time being. So really it was just for peace of mind. Seeing as tomorrow is my bday it seemed appropriate for that to be the day I re up. I'll turn 27 on the day I get out.
Also, my job is changing pretty dramatically. Instead of being a staff intel geek I'll be directly attached to a company commander. Essentially, my job will be to both collect/digest/disseminate intelligence on a really microcosmic level. I'm used to the digesting/disseminating, but to me it's always been the collecting thats going to be the fun part. So I met with the commander I'll be assigned to yesterday. Good guy, a little quircky, but so am I. I have a feeling I'll be spending more of my time outside the wire than in. So part of me is saying "sweet!" while the other is trying to remember basic training. :twak: This is a trial program the Army is doing so what we do/don't do will set the standard for everyone else.
Kinda boared and felt like sharing. :dunno:
Oh, and my computer crashed a few weeks ago...awesome...
